“In my opinion this MOOC-Ed is different from other MOOCs. It allows you to be in the driver’s seat while most other MOOCs are more like driverless cars.” –DLT MOOC-Ed Participant, Fall 2013

The DLT MOOC-Ed is designed for school and district leaders, such as superintendents, principals, curriculum directors, technology directors, financial officers, principals, instructional coaches, library media specialists, and lead teachers, as well as university faculty, consultants, parents and any others involved in planning and implementing K-12 digital learning initiatives.
A few comments from previous participants include:

“No matter the issue I was thinking about or planning to work on, someone had a suggestion or was already working on a similar area. The dialogue and resources were timely and thought provoking as well as helpful.”

“Sharing resources, plans, pitfalls, and celebrations of folks from so many different economic and sociological backgrounds really helped one feel ‘We are not in this alone’ and gave me the Inspiration to push administration for more tech focused professional development.”

“I think everyone in education is busy with the day-to-day operations of schools, but we need to put aside time to grow and develop! This course was a great opportunity to grow in the area of digital learning and I am glad that I took the time to let it sink in.”
